How many of us watch terrestrial tv to the exclusion of Netflix or Prime.

Mobiles, tablets etc are the norm for many, downloading then watching whenever and wherever. Gone are the water cooler discussions about last night's TV or the family gathering around the tv set. Think the major decline in pvr's is the way people now consume content. I'm only running 1 Youview box now & that still requires the occasional power off to get it working again. That only really leaves the Humax Aura which was probably rushed to market too soon.
#BT YOUVIEW SOFTWARE#
The Humax FVP-5000 for me is a non-starter as I tried the 4000 variant with the current software and thought the interface horrible. Can't comment on the interface or reliability as not had one. There's no remote app yet as that has been delayed due to the pandemic. The Manhattan T3-R will offer the best support as they'll email you when updates are due and response to queries is pretty prompt, pandemic allowing. Remotely set recordings are actioned immediately as the app connects directly to the unit.Software updates are minimal which can be both a good & bad thing. There's a remote app which works well enough in an emergency as it basically just sets a time for a recording not using the broadcasters signal for start & end but does allow you to set a timed recording spanning several programmes.

I've a couple of Panasonic recorders which are rock solid, quick enough, offer padding and SD or HD recording. The options are fairly limited these days.
